Chapter 335: Behind the Paper Man, Chen Changsheng: I Need Cannon Fodder
Upon hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, Bai Ze let out a sigh.
“This life is truly unpredictable!”
“No one knows who will be your enemy in the next second.”
“I’ve noticed that over the years, you’ve had a tendency to do foolish things. When you were asleep last time, did your brain get muddled?”
Faced with Bai Ze’s words, Chen Changsheng grinned.
“Maybe.”
“However, that’s understandable. I am human, not a cold puppet.”
“As long as one is human, there will always be confusion and mistakes.”
“Just because I was stronger earlier doesn’t mean I should never make mistakes.”
“Hahaha!”
“Even you can feel lost and make mistakes; this Changsheng is truly suffering.”
After saying this, Bai Ze began to observe the surrounding environment.
“By the way, do you have confidence in entering the Qiongqi Tomb?”
“No.”
“Three hundred thousand years ago, Qiongqi perished alongside the elites of the human, god, and demon races.”
“Under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t have had time to prepare a tomb for themselves.”
“However, now this has formed such a massive island, which indicates that something happened after their d*ath.”
“Living beings, when faced with d*ath, will always generate many thoughts.”
“For example, leaving behind a legacy, or setting up an unparalleled killing array to prevent later intrusions.”
“Or, concocting bizarre methods to attempt to survive.”
“No matter which situation it is, over time these ideas will deteriorate, eventually transforming into something unrecognizable; nobody knows.”
Upon hearing this, the corners of Bai Ze’s mouth began to rise wildly.
“That’s true, but risk and opportunity coexist; the more dangerous it is here, the better things inside may be.”
As he spoke, Bai Ze began to pull out items.
Talismans, Buddha statues, relics, Daoist seven-star swords, parchment inscribed with golden characters…
Countless magic treasures radiating light were donned by Bai Ze.
It was evident that Bai Ze was already quite skilled at this type of thing.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng helplessly smiled, “Come on, do you need to be so extravagant?”
“You are a auspicious beast, most strange things can’t get close to you. Plus, with me and you together, are you still not at ease?”
Hearing this, Bai Ze took out a bagua mirror and placed it on his head, saying, “If it were before, I would definitely believe you, but now I don’t.”
“The Upper Realm and Lower Realm are different; those bastards have too many tricks. When I was searching for clues about the Qiongqi Tomb, I almost fell into a trap.”
“With matters like these, caution reaps the reward.”
Receiving this response, Chen Changsheng smiled but chose to ignore it, instead turning towards the island.
Although Chen Changsheng did not dare to claim to be invincible in the world, he still had some confidence in his own strength and experience.
Though the Qiongqi Tomb was dangerous, it wouldn’t pose a challenge for him.
…..
Qiongqi Tomb.
Chen Changsheng and Bai Ze strolled on the desolate island.
After walking over three hundred miles, Chen Changsheng and Bai Ze still encountered no situations.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng furrowed his brows. In such a place, normalcy was the biggest abnormality.
“Little Black, you…”
Chen Changsheng turned to ask Bai Ze about the situation, but the words stopped at his lips.
He saw that on Bai Ze’s head, a red paper man had appeared without him noticing.
The paper man was only the size of a palm but moved exceptionally nimbly.
The glittering bagua mirror had long since dimmed, and the golden-glimmering Buddha statue had its neck twisted.
The paper man easily broke through Bai Ze’s heavy defenses and stuck onto its head.
Seemingly aware that Chen Changsheng had discovered it, the paper man turned and made a shushing gesture towards him.

Yet at this moment, neither Bai Ze nor Chen Changsheng had noticed. At this time, it was making faces directed at Bai Ze.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng immediately tried to alert Bai Ze with his eyes.
However, after making a gesture, both of their expressions changed.
Because they seemed to see themselves in each other’s actions.
After a breath.
“Boom!”
A powerful explosion sounded from the island.
Bai Ze and Chen Changsheng instantly unleashed their formidable strength.
Chen Changsheng summoned his avatar and conjured countless arcane thunder laws, with targets aimed at the back of his body.
At the same time, Chen Changsheng was also forming hand seals and rapidly reciting the Dao scriptures.
Chen Changsheng reacted quickly, and Bai Ze was not slow either.
He saw Bai Ze’s two paws pressed together, resonating with rumbling Buddhist chants from its mouth, and in an instant, Buddhist light suffused Bai Ze’s body.
“Ah~”
Faced with this fierce attack, the red paper man behind Chen Changsheng and Bai Ze let out a piercing scream.
However, some paper men still stubbornly clung to the backs of Chen Changsheng and Bai Ze.
“Buzz!”
A powerful suction force emanated from the paper men, causing Chen Changsheng and Bai Ze’s faces to pale slightly.
“Out!”
Chen Changsheng shouted softly, and the Golden Silkworm Bug transformed into a beam of golden light flying out.
In just a moment, it eliminated the remaining paper men.
Once the paper men were eliminated, more paper men flew in from all directions.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng’s eyelids twitched.
“Buzz!”
Unprecedented hellfire erupted from Chen Changsheng’s body, and within the crimson hellfire was mixed with a colorless flame.
This colorless flame was what Chen Changsheng typically used to deal with unlucky techniques.
“Ah~”
Continuous wails erupted; successfully blocking the paper men’s attacks, Chen Changsheng and Bai Ze quickly retreated from the Qiongqi Tomb.
…..
“That scared me to d*ath!”
“What the hell was that technique? It’s so terrifying.”
Looking at the distant desolate Qiongqi Tomb, Bai Ze was still feeling apprehensive.
On the other hand, Chen Changsheng was no better off; the previous attack from the paper man had drained him considerably.
After all, Chen Changsheng’s current cultivation level was quite weak, and he couldn’t withstand any attacks.
After expressing his feelings, Bai Ze looked at Chen Changsheng and said, “Are you alright?”
“Also, why do you suppress your own cultivation level so low? It’s very easy to run into trouble like this.”
Facing Bai Ze’s concern, Chen Changsheng waved his hand dismissively.
“It’s fine. I’ve been studying some things recently, and having a higher cultivation level is inconvenient.”
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng began fiddling with some materials he took out.
Seeing this, Bai Ze, extremely curious, leaned in closer.
“Chen Changsheng, what are you planning to do?”
Upon hearing, Chen Changsheng continued to sort through the materials on the ground while responding.
“Do you have confidence in dealing with the situations inside the Qiongqi Tomb?”
“No confidence.”
“Then that’s settled. I need a few cannon fodder to help me scout the way.”
After saying this, several lively puppets appeared before Bai Ze.
Interestingly, these puppets looked exactly like Chen Changsheng and the others.
Even the beast form of Bai Ze had an identical puppet.
